FOOD must-haves  + healthy snack idea.

Fruits always are a must-have in the kitchen. I think there isn't any fruit I don't like. Especially when it get's colder you should eat a lot of fruits because of all the vitamines, minerals and anti-oxidants. They can help your body to prevent diseases and keep you healthy. Right now, I'm obsessed with plums and pears. Apples, dates and figs are also great and delicious autumnal fruits.

If you are craving sugar after a meal or in the evening fruits are the best alternative to chocolate, cake or cookies. I'll show you one of my favorite combination.

just cut 1 apple into pieces

and sprinkle a little bit of cinnamon on top.

not much effort but extremely delicious and healthy. 

FASHION must-haves + new discoveries.

of course - cosy warm sweathers and hoodies.

I recently discovered two new magazines. The first one is called "flow". Firstly, the cover really caught my attention with it's cute design. I also find the articles very interesting. Ideas, inspiration & advice - really cool, something for everyone. The next one is "couch". It's simple a home and fashion magazine. You are getting inspired for decoration, DIY's, fashion and beauty products. My last discovery is probably my most loved one - it's the book "the five people you meet in heaven" by Mitch Albom. I can't really describe how impressed I am by this book. He writes about a man and his personal story and impressions after he dies. In heaven he meets five people from his past who help him understand the meaning of his life. Absolutly worth reading !!!

I hope I could inspire you a little bit with my ideas and discoveries I showed you in this post. If you also have some delicious smoothie or snack recipes, feel free to leave them in a comment below! :) 

AUTUMN love.

  AUTUMN love.

 

Although, it's a very hard decision to make, I can say that autumn is my favorite season. Despite the weather - because it's not too warm and not too cold- there are a lot more things that I really love about that season. Fashion, decoration, food and lifestyle.I have my personal favorites in each category.

D E C O R A T I O N. One of my absolute favorite things to do is decorating. Of course I don't want to spend an awful lot of money to redecorate my whole room, but I love finding some bits-and-bobs to make my room feel a little more autumnal. For example - pillow cases in warm and mellow colours, many candles with vanilla and ginger scents, comfortable and soft blankets etc.

F A S H I O N. First of all, warm and cozy jumpers and pyjamas. Who doesn't love a chilled evening at home or even a whole day just in your favorite pyjamas? I definitely do! A chilled evening wouldn't be perfect without warm socks. I couldn't live without them during autumn and winter. When you can finally convince yourself to go outside in the cold, you can wear fashionable jackets and coats.

L I F E S T Y L E. I love watching series all the time, but in autumn I become a real junkie. I get addicted and I love discovering new series. Recently I started Sex and the city (hilarious!! I love it), Breaking Bad (because it seems to me that everyone in the world is watching it, but me! :P)  and series like Gilmore Girls and Gossip Girl never bore me so I can watch them all over again 100 times. ;) When I find the time I love having a pamper evening. Having a bath - quite recently I bought my first LUSH products (amazing!) - while reading a book or a magazine, putting on a face mask...you know just all the girly stuff- but I really love doing that once in a while. It's so relaxing and I really need that sometimes.

F O O D. This category couldn't be left out. I'm a tea lover, and in this case I also have my favorite teas in autumn. While I prefer green teas all year around, I also love fruit and sweeter teas during autumn. Autumn time is hot chocolate time. I love drinking hot chocolate when it's cold outside and you want to warm up a little bit. Autumn and winter is the time where you shouldn't have a bad conscience while eating delicious cookies or cake. Chocolate cookies, gingerbread, cupcakes, apple pie - who can resist to that? I can't! :)

beautiful autumn morning.

I really wanted to share some of my autumnal favorites with you and I hope that you'll also share some of yours in the comments below! :)
